We have been learning about pets this week. We have talked about our pets at home and have discussed pets that we would like to own. Mr Balls brought in his guinea pigs on Tuesday. They were called Bandit and Smokey and they were so cute. He told us all about how to look after them and I think we all want a guinea pig now ! Miss Carter and Mr Balls brought the guinea pigs round so that we could all say hello - it was a real treat.
We have also made our own pet homes - we had some really good ideas.
Something really exciting happened this week - the zoo sent us the PERFECT PET. He is a little puppy called Jess and we love him already. Every week Mrs Young and Mrs Ball will choose someone to take Jess home for the weekend. You will have to look after him really carefully please and I am sure you will have loads of fun. Remember to fill in his diary so that we can see what you have been up to and, more importantly, remember to bring him back on Monday. We will choose someone every week who has been working really hard in class - which will be quite tricky as everyone in Grasshopper Class works so hard.
We have been learning to count in 2's this week - hopefully you've all been practising at home too? Why not try counting your toys in 2's? We have also been looking at pictograms about pets - we were amazingly good at this - Mrs Young and Mrs Ball were very impressed.
Thank you to ALL the parents who came along to our phonics session on Monday. It was a fantastic turn out - the best yet. If anyone has any questions about how we are teaching the new sounds please do come in and ask us.
Remember that READING CAFE is on every Thursday and is really good fun. There is always a good story and lots of different craft activities to try. Also you can have a cup of tea and a biscuit and a good chat ! AJ, Thomas and Tony have been to reading cafe lots of times and have lots of fun. Why not come along and give it a try?
Well must be hopping along now. See you next week.
